This is told from Tifa's point of view. She is telling of the pain she feels each time she sees Cloud with Aeris. In her mind, he cheated on her because she thought he loved her. But in the end, he is with Aeris and she is heartbroken. Towards the end, she is laying to rest the "us" of their relationship.
I hope you can find the deep meaning behind this. It may be hard, but just soak up each word and each phrase. Enjoy.
I do NOT own Final fantasy 7
In your hands, I see it breaking. It beats its last breath of life and wisps away on a carriage of broken dreams. My heart has died. Can you not see? The trust, the love, the passion has faded. With her in your arms, the touch of her lips against yours, you shattered the world we once resided. But was it just me who was there all along? From the creation of our false union was I trapped behind a door, unable to see what was taking place?
Oh the time I have wasted! The precious moment in which I first saw you is nothing but a bitter musing dream that sneers and gnashes. Now I watch from the edge of a cliff, with nails burrowing into the dead earth. I cry out, yet you do not hear. All you see is her, the thief when she is near.
You let me fall.
How could you cradle her, how could you protect the one who is already safe in your embrace? I am the deprived soul, frozen in solitude. I needed you now, but you birthed this pain! How dare you. Your lying eyes seized my heart with a dishonest mesmerizing melody that soothed the ache of my scarred life. Now I dangle on a rope, a cord that cuts into my flesh. Blood drips and the wounds merely aid in the realization that I am still alive.
Run, run, do not stay. Forever I am shattered, cursed to remain this way. Light from the sun pours onto me, yet I remain in the darkness, writhing and screaming. Why did you do this? Why did you break me? Once I was whole, but no more! You took it away, you stole my sanity. Snatching my happiness, I don't want your pity. Say you're sorry, say you're sorry; recount the guilt of your soul. It will not help. Futile, hopeless; do not haunt me any longer.
Leave me be. Fly away. With you gone my heart will heal, I pray. With blind eyes, you turn away. Lift me up and let me fall. My wings have been clipped, torn, and tattered. An angel who cannot fly; the irony of it all. And so I weep a silent tear, putting us into our graves. The corpse of a mourning flower shall shelter our demented carcasses that smile with a sightless sigh. The ghost of us does not realize the end has arrived. We do not exist. Though you shall depart soon, perform one final act. Place my hands onto my heart as to hold it so that it does not fall apart. Here I am, smiling. When tears drip onto my naked lips, walk away without remorse. I need not tell you, for I see you fade without shame.
Goodbye sanity, farewell comfort; I am a stranger now in your presence. Recall one final sight as you draw her near: your angel is weeping marring tears and you are not here.
You are not here.
